Eyesight Screening Resources

The Vision 20/20 Project provides an authentic context for student learning in two primary components:

1) STEAM-based teaching resources for vision science and eye health topics and

2) child-to-child vision screening via eyesight testing kits that can be utilized in a classroom or at home.

​

We provide free hardcopy vision screening kits to schools. If you would like to request a kit, please email enquiries@sciencelearn.org.nz.

Activities

Eyesight adventures for the classroom:

Use the Labelling the eye activity to learn about and identify parts of the human eye.

​

The activity Eye dissection uses cows’ eyes – they are a good size for observing many of the parts found in the human eye.

​

In the activity Pinhole cameras and eyes, students make a pinhole camera and see images formed on an internal screen. They then use a lens and see brighter and sharper images. This models the human eye and can be modified to demonstrate short-sightedness and long-sightedness.
